Current State of Knowledge Researchers must determine if CRS patients and the BC health care system would benefit from a prioritized waitlist for sinus surgery. It is accepted that sinus surgery compared to medical therapy improves the quality of life of CRS patients.12-14 However, to determine whether VCH CRS patients would benefit from a prioritized waitlist, the investigators must answer the following questions. If patients were to have surgery sooner: 1) how does their quality of life change with time compared to those on the waitlist? 2) do they experience a reduction in out of pocket costs?; 3) does the healthcare system experience a decrease in healthcare expenditure? and 4) is there are a subgroup of patients who would particularly benefit more than others from early surgical intervention? Providing this information is vital in determining if a prioritized waitlist would be beneficial for sinus surgery.
